Detailed Description
Functions to get text version of the error numbers and an enumeration of the error codes returned by libmpg123.
Most functions operating on a mpg123_handle simply return MPG123_OK (0) on success and MPG123_ERR (-1) on failure, setting the internal error variable of the handle to the specific error code. If there was not a valid (non-NULL) handle provided to a function operating on one, MPG123_BAD_HANDLE may be returned if this can not be confused with a valid positive return value. Meaning: A function expected to return positive integers on success will always indicate error or a special condition by returning a negative one.
Decoding/seek functions may also return message codes MPG123_DONE, MPG123_NEW_FORMAT and MPG123_NEED_MORE (all negative, see below on how to react). Note that calls to those can be nested, so generally watch out for these codes after initial handle setup. Especially any function that needs information about the current stream to work will try to at least parse the beginning if that did not happen yet.
On a function that is supposed to return MPG123_OK on success and MPG123_ERR on failure, make sure you check for != MPG123_OK, not == MPG123_ERR, as the error code could get more specific in future, or there is just a special message from a decoding routine as indicated above.
Enumeration Type Documentation
◆ mpg123_errors
Enumeration of the message and error codes and returned by libmpg123 functions.
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| MPG123_DONE | Message: Track ended. Stop decoding. |
| MPG123_NEW_FORMAT | Message: Output format will be different on next call. Note that some libmpg123 versions between 1.4.3 and 1.8.0 insist on you calling mpg123_getformat() after getting this message code. Newer verisons behave like advertised: You have the chance to call mpg123_getformat(), but you can also just continue decoding and get your data. |
| MPG123_NEED_MORE | Message: For feed reader: "Feed me more!" (call mpg123_feed() or mpg123_decode() with some new input data). |
| MPG123_ERR | Generic Error |
| MPG123_OK | Success |
| MPG123_BAD_OUTFORMAT | Unable to set up output format! |

| MPG123_NO_GAPLESS | This build doesn't support gapless decoding. |
| MPG123_NO_SPACE | Not enough buffer space. |

| MPG123_BAD_KEY | Bad key value given. |
| MPG123_NO_INDEX | No frame index in this build. |
| MPG123_INDEX_FAIL | Something with frame index went wrong. |
| MPG123_BAD_DECODER_SETUP | Something prevents a proper decoder setup |
| MPG123_MISSING_FEATURE | This feature has not been built into libmpg123. |
| MPG123_BAD_VALUE | A bad value has been given, somewhere. |
| MPG123_LSEEK_FAILED | Low-level seek failed. |
| MPG123_BAD_CUSTOM_IO | Custom I/O not prepared. |

Function Documentation
◆ mpg123_errcode()
| MPG123_EXPORT int mpg123_errcode | ( | mpg123_handle * | mh | ) |
Return the plain errcode intead of a string.
- Parameters
-
mh handle
- Returns
- error code recorded in handle or MPG123_BAD_HANDLE

◆ mpg123_plain_strerror()
| MPG123_EXPORT const char * mpg123_plain_strerror | ( | int | errcode | ) |
Look up error strings given integer code.
- Parameters
-
errcode integer error code
- Returns
- string describing what that error error code means

◆ mpg123_strerror()
| MPG123_EXPORT const char * mpg123_strerror | ( | mpg123_handle * | mh | ) |
Give string describing what error has occured in the context of handle mh. When a function operating on an mpg123 handle returns MPG123_ERR, you should check for the actual reason via char *errmsg = mpg123_strerror(mh) This function will catch mh == NULL and return the message for MPG123_BAD_HANDLE.
- Parameters
-
mh handle
- Returns
- error message
